B-Man Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Why Historic Numbers Of Black Men Like Me Are Voting Trump In 2024 Adam B. Coleman Black Americans are the only racial demographic told rather than persuaded how to vote. I stopped blindly supporting Democrats for many reasons, but their obsession with identity politics tops the list. Race has always been a component of political discussion. But even as a black man, it always seemed to me like an appetizer, not the entrée. Now instead of aiming for common-sense policies that benefit the most people, Democrats carve out niche superficial interests that benefit barely anyone. Kamala Harris is both a beneficiary and the perpetrator of the Democrat Party’s identity infatuation. Harris plays the identity politics game, pretending she’s authentic but changing her accent and mannerisms whenever she enters a different environment. However, when you question the substance of her advocacy and question her authenticity, especially as a black man, you’re the one who will be chastised for attempting to treat her the same way as any other person who is seeking power in office. During Joe Biden’s election run, I was turned off by the party I had felt emotionally attached to for well over a decade. I discovered that the media’s Charlottesville narrative — that Trump called white supremacists and neo-Nazis “very fine people” — was a disingenuous fable spread by propagandists masquerading as journalists. Then during his 2020 campaign, Biden flippantly remarked, “I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” In other words, my blackness was contingent on supporting Biden over Donald Trump — a true slap in the face. I was already feeling politically on the fence, but hearing this declaration plus the enabling replies coming from other Democrat pundits turned me off faster than the lights with an unpaid electric bill. My old party had worked tirelessly to convince me Trump was a racist and obsessed with repeating history to enslave me, but the only people I ever heard talking about race were Democrats. It was like realizing that the killer of rational political discourse was actually calling from inside the house. The Democrats are the curators of this fear narrative, and they’ll even travel back to our country’s oldest sin to gain power. Democrats have pornified slavery so much that it’s all they see within black men like me. Everything is in measurement to chattel slavery. They manufacture scenarios only to compare it to their politicized slavery fan fiction. https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/16/why-historic-numbers-of-black-men-like-me-are-voting-trump-in-2024/ . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I hope Kamala loses. Not because I'm gaga for Trump, or because of misogynoire, or because of her past or proposed policies. I want her to lose, and lose badly, because on her behalf an entire political regime has unleashed a level of vitriol against black men that I've never seen before. That @TheDemocrats --and the pols, pundits and celebrities prostituting themselves for them--are so comfortable openly disrespecting black men shows such deep disdain that it borders on evil. Black men are killing and dying in cities controlled by DEMOCRATS. Black boys are graduating with non-educations from public schools controlled by DEMOCRATS. Black men are experiencing economic hardship thanks to policies favored by DEMOCRATS. But worst of all, Black are currently experiencing the most venomous vitriol I've ever seen from BLACK WOMEN...who are now being weaponized against them BY DEMOCRATS. Black communities already suffer from disunity and dysfunction, and here is Kopy Kat Kamala's party utilizing and exacerbating the problem for cynical politics. Not since Jim Crow have Democrats been so obviously keen on destroying black America. But at least in the past the destruction was done with no pretense of benevolence; today it's insidious, done under the guise of "fighting fascism" or "saving democracy" or "destroying white supremacy." Despicable. So I hope the Harris campaign continues its strategy of shaming black men. I hope they keep trotting out twerking, tap-dancing ***** --I mean "celebrities"--to keep condescending to me. I hope Barack Obama keeps running his ***** mouth. All it's going to do is radicalize more black men into rejecting this bull####. Then we'll see what "Black Liberation" TRULY means.
